i dont get it... it keeps getting denied. what is the user name?

[Skillian]

Sorry that password was just a joke, I have no idea what the username and password are. Just thought it was interesting.

They are doing the same thing the Halo2 site is doing with the whole password thing.

there's a lot of "secret pages" and "tests" going on on the half life forums and webpage...

this is just on of them.. if you wanna read about it go here ... this one is explained on the second page...

if you don't wanna read, the username is "nova" and the password is "prospekt" (without quotes, of course...)
a black page will load with a white stripe (to input something)...
right click anywhere on the page, select "view page source"
you get a picture of somebody... at the bottom of the page it says somtehing like "whats my name"
on the white stripe put "barnacle" and you'll get an awsome hi-res picture...
it is really awsome, i stared at the water for like 10 minutes.. it looks awsome...
